    • @tweedvalleybikes
      @tweedvalleybikes Місяць тому

      Hi Mark, I would think Large would be the most likely option for you. The ideal thing would be to either sit on or or demo one of course. That's always the best way to find out as there is a lot of personal preference when it comes to bike sizing. We do have a demo bike in that size if you were able to get up this way ever. Thanks, Neil

    Nice build! Just have a question you might be able to answer: Did the frame require any work before assembly began? Ream or facing the headset or bb? Thanks

    • @tweedvalleybikes
      @tweedvalleybikes Рік тому

      These Ibis frames come to us ready to build so all the facing is done to a high level during the frame assembly stage. We will always inspect a frame before we starting building and have all the tooling in our workshop incase we need to do it.

    This looks amazing! I would love to bikepack this on my juliana joplin. FYI went to Innerleithen Feb 2020 ( right before it all started). Fell in love with the mtn biking ( although you had a blizzard so a fat bike would have been better choice). That was also when I discovered Findra mtn biking shorts!!!! and of course Peebles st. cafe!!

  • @williambate8249
    @williambate8249 2 роки тому

    Long time in the saddle! I would be interested in a video on your kit, what you needed for food and nutrition. Where you get your water and how not to get a sore bum. Also, how do you keep your lights charged?

    • @tweedvalleybikes
      @tweedvalleybikes 2 роки тому

      Haha, I guess not getting a sore bum is making sure you have a saddle that fits well. We also use Rapha bibs which are the best we've found out there - didn't have any issues but have had lots of problems in the past! For food, generally just eating more than you think you need to if it's your first time on something big is the way to go. I ate a mix of homemade rice balls with nuts/seeds/fruit in them, mix of trail bars and some Haribo. Eating small amounts often, generally every 30 minutes - you do need to carry a lot. Water was much more challenging as nothing was open during the night. We stocked up in shops during the day, drank lots at Portobello, then had to do the remaining 13 hours on just 1litre of water each - to be honest it wasn't ideal. As for lights - carry extra batteries. We each had 1 x Hope R2i and 1 x Hope R4+. For the R4+ we had one 4 cell battery and a spare 2 cell battery in our packs. We ran one light on the bar on the minimum setting the entire time, and swapped them out when they went flat. The hope lights run for a surprisingly long time when they're flashing red. Will do our best to share some content of kit etc. Cheers, Janey
